Abstract: In a relay station, a packet fragmented by a sending station is received. The fragmented packet is selectively further fragmented into a plurality of refragmented packets. Identification information (FSN) is added to each of the refragmented packets and to a non-refragmented packet not fragmented. Each of the packets to which the identification information (FSN) has been added is transmitted to a receiving station. This makes it possible to prevent a conflict of information (FSN) between packets due to the packet refragmentation in the relay station.
